Cantabrians can wrap their lips around a second reproduction of Ernest Shackleton's Antarctic whisky at a tasting next month.

Mackinlay's The Journey, the second replica of the whisky that was recovered from the South Pole, was released last October by Scottish distillery Whyte & Mackay.

In 2010, New Zealand's Antarctic Heritage Trust conservators found three crates of whisky buried in ice under the floorboards at the Cape Royds hut that Shackleton used for his failed 1907-09 South Pole expedition.

Three of the crate's 11 bottles were sent to Whyte & Mackay for analysis and replication in 2011.
